Cinnamon Twists

COOKIE INGREDIENTS

  • 2 rolls of pie crust dough (I prefer Pillsbury)

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

ICING INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2 Tbsp milk

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 

  • OPTIONAL: 1 Tbsp mascarpone or cream cheese (will make a creamier icing, but it will take longer to set)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees

  2. Let pie dough come to room temperature then unroll and flatten to cutting board or work surface with a rolling pin.

  3. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture over each pie dough round. Lightly press down with hands.

  5. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into 12 wedges.

  6. Roll up starting at the widest part of the wedge and place on a silicone or parchment paper lined baking sheet.

  7. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove from silicone with tongs and place on a wire cooling rack.

  8. While cookies cool make icing. Whisk together vanilla, milk, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Add more milk for thinner icing and more sugar for thinker icing. 

  9. When cookies are completely cooled, drizzle icing over the cookies or dip them in the icing like a madman.
